Seven airports in various provinces are about to get a major face lift.

These airports are General Santos International Airport, Calbayog Airport, Sanga-Sanga Airport, Catarman Airport, Siquijor Airport, Romblon Airport and Ozamiz Airport, a published notice from the DOTr showed.

Bid documents were issued Wednesday and the deadline for submission bids would be between Nov. 8 and Nov. 9. Bids will be opened on the same day.

The largest project listed was the P462.52-million expansion of the General Santos passenger terminal in South Cotabato. According to the DOTr, this involves increasing the existing terminal building’s footprint three times to 12,000 sqm.
